Thanks a lot. What breaking strain would you recommend on a lake with little weed and no snags targeting carp from 8-20 lbs ? Cheers.

Thanks mate. What breaking strain would you recommend for surface fishing on a lake with minimal weed and no snags targeting carp up to 20 lbs ? 👍

I generally carry it in 3x breaking strains, but if it's clear of weed and fairly snag free I'd go with the 3.6kg (0.18) it's relatively cheap so no hardship buying a few spools, I generally have 0.18 0.20 0.22in the surface tackle pouch. Gink & Xink are definitely worth having in your kit, you can make the last 4”/6” nearest the hook sink and the rest float which definitely helps get more takes when the fish are being finicky.

I tried the Stroft gtm hooklink in 0.22 mm today, caught 3 carp off the top. Thanks a lot for your recommendation Leigh 👍
